The base record for this market cites a $525,000 median sale price via Redfin (November 2025, up 8.2% year-over-year); a separate April 2026 reading cited $522,990, and a May 2026 Orchard reading cited $570,000 over a trailing-30-day window -- sources cluster in the $520,000-$570,000 range rather than agreeing on one figure, but consistently show an appreciating, waterfront-premium market well above the other Hillsborough County satellites in this batch.
Canal-Front, Waterfront, and Inland Product All Carry Different Price Points
MiraBay and Andalucia (both master-planned waterfront communities) and Symphony Isles (a deed-restricted community on deep-water canals since 1985, with a private beach) sit at the top of the local price range, while inland communities such as Covington Park (1,000-plus single-family homes and villas) offer more moderately priced, non-waterfront alternatives within the same broader Apollo Beach market (see best-areas... see retiring for the 55+-specific communities).
Standard Florida Closing Rules and the 2026 Homestead Exemption
Standard Florida closing costs run roughly 2%-5% of the purchase price, including the state's documentary stamp tax on the deed ($0.70 per $100 of sale price, customarily seller-paid). File for the homestead exemption promptly after closing on a primary residence -- $51,411 for 2026 -- which enrolls the property in the Save Our Homes assessed-value growth cap going forward.
